There's even data on hospital bed surge capacity and ventilator usage. I'm pretty impressed and hope they have the time and process to keep the data current. Check it out.
It's encouraging to see local government and local agencies doing well and stepping into the leadership void during this crisis.

I sure wish the USA had something like this, but I wouldn't prioritize it over getting testing.
A few things jumped out at me.
The 31-60 age groups capture the majority of cases. I couldn't help but wonder if those 30 and under are getting disease at greater rates, but are just not identified in our system. If their rates are at or close to their older peers than it would imply there are a number of asymptomatic or mild case people essentially serving as super spreaders.
Sample size is, thankfully, small, so the death by age looks in line with global experiences. However males representing 75% of deaths is rather shocking. I know there is a bias to male deaths, but 75/25 is rather noteworthy.
